Rocky,
Randall did not buy any, to the best of my knowledge. In my case, like you, I bought it directly from Jim and entered it in on my scheduled orders. I think Duke McCaa, Greg Gutcher and a couple of other dealers did as well....&...of course, the Randall customers who, individually, purchased it and submitted it to the shop to have their knives made.
I think it became a hassle for Jim and he sold off the pieces he had slotted to his customers. To me, he sold me (maybe) a dozen slotted pieces but shipped me a "half sheet" that had "not" been cut or slotted!
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris
